Hopefully the Renault car will peform just as good as it did this year thus relegating the 2x WDC to midfield. I can't think of a better place for him to be.

He shouldn't have left.

I can't help feeling sorry for Nelson Piquet Jr.

Alonso will reportedly make over $50 million a year according to news reports in Europe. Thats Schumi type money. Let's hope Renault doesn't end up regretting taking Alonso from McLaren.

Eh...I knew this immediately after he left Mclaren. No one can give him a car he wants to drive, nor could anyone else afford him. He's a petulent spoiled little boy. He should of never left to begin with.
What happens to Heiki?

Word on the street is that Heiki is going to Toyota, as De La Rosa is getting the other McLaren seat, to make McLaren's Spanish sponsors happy...
I'm glad to see Alonso leave a winning car... Hopefully Renault doesn't change their ways. Keep him off the podium where he belongs.
